'08
I’m still annoyed at Ted Casablanca for making me fall for his jargony claim that Brad and Angelina sold their New Orleans mansion. (Jaybird wrote that story, but I’m the one who sent it to her, I have to take the blame.) He said it with such conviction and used so many stupid adjectives that it just had to be true.
Well yesterday Casablanca reported in his roundabout twang that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were having trouble. Because I promised you guys that I wouldn’t rely on him for information anymore, I sat on my tingling hands and didn’t report it. It’s now at the top of the gossip aggregate site I visit multiple times a day, WeSmirch, and I was just about to reluctantly report it when I saw the denial from their reps.
Here’s what Casablanca said, and I’m rolling my eyes having to read this shit again. If you read between the lines, you can tell he’s just making assumptions because they’ve been seen out separately in photos.
Terribly unfortunate scuttlebutt has come my way. Sources insist to me that Jennifer Garner is considering splitting up from her hubby, Ben Affleck. Say it ain’t so, baby-cakes! Nevertheless, waiting on comment now from both parties. Could this be the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately, rarely as one happy family unit? Perhaps. And certainly, those who know the former Alias star well insist Ben’s mama has never particularly cared for the gal who broke Michael Vartan’s heart to hook up with Benny-Boy in the first place. Waiting on official PR responses to that little familial naughty nugget as, well, for what it’s worth. Much has to be divided, I’m told…planes, property. Wonder—if above baddie biz is true—if Benny-boy will be the gentleman Vartan was when he was cast aside? Let’s hope. I mean, don’t leave Vi-hon with the sitters too long if ya decide to hit the card tables, Mr. A!

Yes, terribly unfortunate scuttlebutt indeed. Well the reps for the Garner-Afflecks say it’s 100% fabricated:
A report by E!’s Ted Casablanca that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are considering breaking up is “100% completely fabricated,” Garner’s rep tells Usmagazine.com.
The E! report speculated a potential split was “the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately.”
But Garner’s rep tells Us: “There is not one ounce of truth to it.”

I’m glad I heard that before I reported this, even with the severe disclaimer I was about to slap on it. Now I have another reason to ignore this guy other than the fact that his writing makes my head spin.
Was the brief blip in traffic worth it for Casablanca? I ask myself that very question when I post celebrity upskirts.
Ben and Jen are shown at the White House Correspondents Dinner on 4/26/08, and with their daughter Violet, two and half, registering her for “the First Presbyterian Nursery School in Santa Monica” on 6/16/08, thanks to WENN.

If they issued a denial, it stands to reason that it’s probably true.
-
What?? Neelyo, that makes no sense at all. So, if their reps isued a confirmation that the rumours WERE true, would that, in fact, mean that they weren’t? Just - what - oh, never mind…
-
She’s pregnant they are not breaking up
-
They seem remarkably normal to me. So, yes, since they are not making out all over town and groping each other in public, it’s obvious they must be breaking up.
-
Michael Vartan is a douche. So is Affleck, but I dislike Vartan even more. So I don’t know why Mr. Scuttlebutt is so sympathetic towards him. Affleck and Garner are one of those “they just make sense together couples.”
-
My husband and I could easily be spotted all over town holding our children separately and we are extremely close. What a stupid assessment.
-
The *are* boring and that’s just the way they like it. Both like to go about their lives and do not court the media. I wish them both the best.

Elisha- do you know Vartan? Or know people who do? Just curious or if you just hate him. I always wondered if he was a nice guy.
And LALA- is she pregnant? Are these inside scoops? Spill it! Ha.
Sadly I saw a dvd with Vartan in it called ‘Rogue’ about a giant killer croc. It was only released in Australia (where it was filmed) Um..he didn’t fare so well after the show. A shame.
I hate how Ted Casablanca writes, it’s so tittering and irritates me.
that said I wouldn’t be too surprised if they split. A habit of hookers and card games is hard to break. Garner seems tightly wound (to wit: that YouTube clip of her freaking out over harmless Gary Busey on the red carpet. Totally over reacted) and dresses more and more like a Stepford Wife. Ben might be feeling trapped right about now. -
It’s a mantra, people.
Casablanca = Bullshit
Although, I have to agree with some of the above comments. Bennifer 2.0 = zzzzzz….zzz..zzz

“Harmless Gary Busey”? He’s a wackjob!
-
“Ted Casablanca… and his jargony claim” I totally hate his column, you need a decoder to figure it out, stopped reading a long time ago!
-
I wouldn’t have believed this story anyway, they do seem happy, and I also have the feeling Jen is pregnant again. Besides, they have been seen house hunting together very recently, that really isn’t an indicator of a couple that’s about to split, is it?
-
TedC has had it in for Jen Garner since she “broke poor Vartan’s heart”. HE has liars as “sources” who are in Vartan’s camp. That guy is a sore loser. Its been four years people! THe guy looks even more like a loser having TedC cry over him yesterday and today. He’s been lying and spreading rumors about Jen Garner for years. I know I used to read the wack jobs column
-
If being seen with your children separately equates to being on the verge of divorce, then my husband and I have been on the verge of divorce for almost 10 years.
How many times were Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards seen TOGETHER with their child(ren)? Where are THEY now? Oh yeah…stoopit reality television show and another sham marriage. Ho-HUM.
-
Like everyone else said, maybe they are just a normal couple? In paparazzi land if you’re not seen snogging every day in public then your marriage is ‘on the rocks’ Me and my boyfriend have been ‘breaking up’ for 8 years, go us! lol

What a nasty fabrication. Ben and Jennifer are one of my fave Hollywood couples. They have a good loving karma about them.
